Flashback

Kris and I were at the park. I noticed that he was spacing out. I have been talking about my day our plans for out upcoming wedding

“Kris.” I stopped walking but he continued

“KRIS!” I shouted

“yes, babe?” he looked to his side and noticed that you weren’t there. He immediately panicked

“I’m here.” I said and sat down on a bench. He runs up to you and sits down

“tell me what’s bothering you.” I say and hold up his chin so he’ll look into my eyes

“nothing.” He says avoiding your gaze

“nothing means something, Kris. spill it”

“let’s call the wedding off” he said as he looked at his fingers

“what? I don’t understand” you felt out of breath

“I made a mistake” he was on the verge of tears

“Kris, what did you do?” I said, almost crying

“I was drunk. I didn’t know what I was doing.”

“Kris, tell me more…” I listened

“I was at a bar drinking. I was with some friends. Then when I was searching the crowd I thought I saw you. I came up to her. I was so intoxicated that I kissed her and one thing led to another. When I woke up we were at a hotel room.”

“who was the girl?” I said, my voice shaking

He avoided my gaze.

“I’m so sorry.” Kris said. He handed me a letter and left

So here I am today, At Kris’ and my sister’s wedding.

Hurts right? Seeing the one you love being married off to someone else.

When Kris told me he got my sister pregnant I was mad. I was furious. I was hurt.

I didn’t speak to them for days. I locked myself up in the room and drowned myself in alcohol until one day I woke up.

I needed to face this. I love my sister and I love Kris. I shouldn’t be selfish.

I put a smile on my face, fixed myself and faced them. I told my sister and Kris to continue the wedding that was originally planned but of course we needed to change my name to my sister’s name on the invitations.

So here I am standing, looking around.

This was my dream wedding.

I was wearing a beautiful dress.

Everything was perfect.

The man I loved the most was waiting at the altar.

I was walking down that aisle…

Only I wasn’t the bride.
